Berlioz - La Damnation de Faust (YouTube)

I was quite surprised to come, almost by accident, across this full-length video of Paris's Damnation, with Jonas Kaufmann and Sophie Koch. Amazing what you find on YouTube, and I wonder how long it will stay up (though it's already survived four years, so...). I really liked this production, by Alvis Hermanis, when so many people didn't, complaining about copulating snails and so on ('It has also led to memorable, near-historic levels of booing, heckling and exchanged insults, even during the show, forcing Philippe Jordan to intervene from time to time to quieten people down.')

I wrote about it here.
